The concept of surface computing wasn’t particularly new to me. I had seen some really cool experimental projects over at proce55ing.org (Processing is an extremely useful prototyping tool / language for rich media developers).

I hadn’t seen anything new in a while so it all drifted to the back of my mind until the unveiling of Microsoft Surface. I have to say it has really got me excited. I know Apple have multitouch control built into the iPhone and that is really cool, I just hadn’t seen anything anything on a larger scale. The demo videos show a very impressive smooth performing system handling anything from organising your pictures to playing games to playing waiter at a restaurant. It all looked a little too smooth, I think the spec of the demo machines may be slightly higher than the spec listed for the production models of the first Surfaces Computers that will ship later in 2007.

Now the initial uses displayed for the system are very interesting but I would really love to see how this technology could be used in my graphic design work. Imagine how quickly you could work in the likes of Photoshop and Illustrator with the freedom to use both your hands to activate tools and manipulate graphics.

Bring on the new age of computing. I’ll be watching this space very eagerly.
